About the Product

Power your way to dominance on the field, court, or mat. Power for Sports Performance provides the tools to build a program for your needs, your sport, and your goals.

Through a series of self-assessments, you will identify areas of improvement and establish a baseline for your training regimen. Then, discover the exercises that are best for enhancing power in sport-specific movements, starting with base-building exercises for developing basic strength and postural control, and advancing to a complex power program that combines resistance training and plyometrics.

Best of all, these programs and workouts may also be printed from the DVD, so you can take instruction directly onto the practice field or into the gym. With its progressive format and unique combination of exercises, the Power for Sports Performance DVD will help you power your way to excellence.

Human Kinetics DVDs are coded for universal playback and can be played in all regions of the world.
